Michael Weston Books

Exploring the intersection of literature and moral philosophy, this book delves into how literary works influence ethical thought. It features readings from influential thinkers, including Bataille, Kierkegaard, Rorty, and Iris Murdoch, providing diverse perspectives on the relationship between narrative and morality. Through these texts, the book encourages readers to consider the implications of literature in shaping ethical frameworks and understanding human experience.

Weston argues that, despite being seen as a precursor to Nietzsche, Heidegger and Derrida, the radical nature of Kierkegaard's critique of philosophy has been missed. An explanation of ethics, metaphysics, and modern European thought.
